Some time ago I’ve started running a NYM mixnode. NYM is a project that targets improving privacy by decomposing network packages from different hosts, so that origin and target cannot be traced. You can check more about the NYM project at their site at https://nymtech.net/. The project uses Open Source technology to run, and they have a nice docs with details on how to run a node at https://nymtech.net/docs/, and the one relevant for mixnodes at https://nymtech.net/docs/run-nym-nodes/mixnodes/. ...

Xmas came with a good gift that I was able to finish mounting today, the Lego Lamborghini Sian FKP47 🛒#ad. The build experience was good, except for some issues related with not building in the best conditions of light, but more or less fixable… I forgot to add a gear that required me to bend a bit the model to put it back Realized that the gear shift wasn’t working because I didn’t put the piece in the right direction, so it was being blocked between two options Pick the wrong piece at one step so later on it was missing for another The biggest issue was that for the 2nd issue, I got into the motor drive had to be resettled and included some more dismantling, but nothing impossible. ...

Introduction During the pandemic I wanted to work a bit on the wireless system at home, the router provided by the ISP was having already issues that resulted in WiFi devices not connecting and only new devices were able to report ‘AP full’ message when the connection failed. First I started testing the ASUS devices like the AX92U which had WiFi 6 support. My flat is not that big, but as I had some issues with 2.4Ghz devices like smart power plugs, I decided to go for a second unit of the same router and test the AI-Mesh that was announced by ASUS as the best way to extend coverage. ...

Introduction In a regular OpenShift environment, NTP server is more less like this: Diagram In a self-contained cluster with no connection to external networks NTP server is not reachable, but a reachable NTP server is required for proper cluster synchronization. Cluster does use SSL certificates that require validation and might fail if the dates between the systems are not in sync or at least pretty close in time. Diagram We’ve several components already available in our OpenShift cluster that are very useful: ...

During last year I’ve worked with the https://github.com/openshift-kni/baremetal-deploy/ repository after being working in the KNI Community team that was in charge of <KubeVirt.io> and <Metal3.io> where some of the below things were applied. One of the goals we had was to streamline the upstream <-> downstream process to keep changes done in the right way: get changes upstream and copy over downstream with minimal changes. We ended up using AsciiDoctor for building the documentation in the same way it’s done downstream so it’s just a matter of copying over the modules. ...
